Legacy is happy to be celebrating Columbus day this year. Here are some fun facts about how this day became recognized as an official holiday. 

On August 2, 2018, Jose J. Perez and Legacy Insurance & Investment Group hosted the GREAT Program's 2018-2019 Principals Luncheon at Lalo's Mexican Restaurant.  This luncheon was held to show appreciation to the Principals implementing the program at their respective Chicago Public Elementary Schools.  Mr. Perez and the Principals participating in the program collaborated on new and innovative ideas.  Together they hope to make the GREAT Program a huge success for the students this 2018-2019 school year.  Everyone is excited for the program to begin this Fall.  A big thank you to Dr. Olimpia Bahena, Ms. Carmen Navarro, Ms. Nelly Robles and Dr. Antonio Acevedo!
